A NOTE FROM PASTOR BOB
Hey Friends,
I learned a very valuable lesson during my time of renewal. I think two people live inside of me. Now, before you think I’m losing it, let me explain. There is a side of me that really wants to be super spiritual. One who basks in God’s presence every single moment and shuts out the world. The other one inside of me is the doer. It’s the personality that gets restless and doesn’t respond well to the quiet, melodic and spiritual side. It’ the personality that drives me to set goals, achieve things in life, make a difference… all by “doing.” Both of these people inside of me are a good thing. The quiet, spiritual sojourner seeking God’s voice plays a huge role. The doer is also important. Without the doer I’d probably just sit on the couch eating pork rinds and watching Netflix. My discovery during my renewal leave was that there must be balance. I can’t be all contemplative without doing and I can’t do, without contemplating. That’s why the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 remains in my head. I’m so glad I was able to some extent to tame my Martha but even more joyfully Mary showed up! Have a super week!
